Are you a developer who enjoys working within a close-knit team on multiple projects in one of the most fun industries available? We are looking for an adaptable team player who knows that a team always is greater than the sum of its parts. That you’re a sharp C++ developer goes without saying!
We are now looking for an Experienced C++ Developer to work as part of the SDK Team within Paradox Central Tech and Services.

The SDK Team’s primary responsibility is the development and maintenance of the Paradox Game SDK which is used by both our internal game teams and, externally, by our game partners. The scope of the SDK is wide, supporting every technology, platform and game engine in use by Paradox published games. The SDK is used for interacting with all of our online services, as well as local file handling, caching, parsing, and state management.
Your role in the team will be primarily to develop our C++ SDK, by developing new features, optimize the code and assist in the design and architecture of the SDK. You are expected to participate actively in planning and design events, sometimes interacting directly with the team’s stakeholders.
As an Experienced developer, you have deep knowledge of software development, with 4-6 years commercial experience in C++. You are able to work with little or no guidance and can be relied upon to provide solutions to complex problems. Paradox will also expect you to act as a role model both within your team and in dealing with other teams. You enjoy seeing your team members develop and will actively coach and mentor them.

We believe you are a service-minded, driven, and explorative individual; You are comfortable with solving problems and working autonomously within a group. You are open and honest with your teammates and you can be relied on to share your opinions. Your role in a team is flexible and can include being the one who identifies viable solutions and implements appropriate solutions, as well as mentor others.
